One of the things that has made the entire "American Horror Story" enterprise so exciting has been the promise of seemingly endless variety.

"Full Circle," a new half-hour drama premiering on DirecTV's Audience Network tonight, October 9th at 10pm, presents a chilling concept -- a world in which everyone talks like they're Neil LaBute characters.

And if this really is the '60s and '70s, we have to thinking about how it might end. If the Third Golden Age of Television began because the suit...

It’s difficult (futile?) to write a “Boardwalk Empire” in the face of the “Breaking Bad” finale, one of the most talked-about, pored-over and beloved shows in recent TV memory. And ironically, “Boardwalk Empire” had its best episode this season so far last night. While a bulk of the show was still c...
